Some research...
Topics
I'm doing research on how to build distributed operating
systems for today's hardware. More precisely, I'm working on an distributed
operating system named Plan B. More information can be found in the Plan B web site.
Plan B is the descendant of both Plan 9
and Off++.
Off++ was meant to be the nucleus of a distributed adaptable OS named 2K.
Plan B models all resources as boxes,
which is very convenient to use resources from the network. As a
side effect, ideas from the Box abstraction have been used to implement
a variant of NFS that supports the Box operation copy, and can improve NFS
up to several orders of magnitude in several cases (see this paper).
PhD
My PhD thesis was the design and implementation of the Off
microkernel, the initial prototype for the system I am building
now. The manuscript is available online.

Perhaps it is worth to take a look to some papers or visit my OSes page.
